[Michael · Rating 2 out of 5]

It started out with great promise put really didn't do much to help establish a firefighting organization. Lots more on simulation and modelling but it felt a little thin - and I am a big fan of the modelling approach. Not a bad read but I really expected some more depth in the example cases and tools.
